a truly volcanic man
Art
Riccardo Dalisi isn’t just a man full of creativity, who has already invented a thousand things before resolving one: he is a truly volcanic man just like Vesuvius, which, together with the wonderful Bay of Naples, can be seen in all its Majesty from the terrace of his laboratory.
We would have wanted to do it upon arrival, but it was impossible not to look around: his studio looks like a puppet workshop, bloated with objects, paintings, sketches in precarious balance where everything is hanging, squeaking and swaying. Immersed in a sea of vibrant stacks of cards, miniatures, sculptures and bobbing coffeemakers, we are struck by the rare sensitivity of this artist, active in the social and lover of organised chaos.
His idea? Combining glass and metal at an unusual standard. We made it, and here is a system of balance that, as Dalisi stated, constantly suggests to us that “we don’t have to convince, we have to overwhelm!”.
The perception of movement, the feel of a flower moved by the wind.
A dynamic and sculptural element, made more vivid because he has chosen the hand made blown glass, that for its own nature is unique in every single pane produced, rich of differences, bowls, rough or smooth surfaces.
